Palm Springs: day 2

On Sun we had coffee at home, then went to Elmer's for breakfast.  "Kathy" from the plane had recommended Elmer's and we soon found out why.  It was a Sun so there was a 20 minute wait for a table even though its a huge restaurant.  But at least there was a beautiful mountain view to look at while we waited.

The only bacon they offer is Daily's smokehouse bacon with which I was not familiar, but I'm here to tell you it was DEE-licious!  

My breakfast was SOOOO good!

All 3 of us really enjoyed our breakfasts.  We saw so many good looking lunch items on the menu we made a mental note to come back for lunch at some point during the week.  We spent the remainder of the day enjoying the pool, spa, and cocktails at home.

I don't remember why I was making this silly face.

Because the sun is so bright we literally wore sunglasses all the time. These are my extra dark sunglasses I bought in Seattle

I liked the way the 2 chairs reflected on the calm water

I made pink grapefruit crushes for happy hour by the pool.  We may have enjoyed a few of them!

Later we showered and headed to The Purple Room, a Palm Springs icon where the Rat Pack once played which is now owned by the infamous Judy Garland impersonator Michael Holmes. Spouse & I had wanted to see "The Judy Show" on our last visit but it was sold out, so we purchased tickets in advance this time.  We started with cocktails and appetizers in the dimly lit dining room which features a sparkling ceiling (hard to see in my photo).

The food was really good and the service was impeccable.  Once everyone had finished eating and the dishes were cleared away, the show began.  Michael Holmes does a hysterical impersonation of our favorite Judy, Drunk Judy, as if she's hosting a dinner show in 1963.Of course he sings live and sounds a LOT like Judy.

There was plenty of audience interaction, including Judy coming directly up to Carl and taking his iPhone from his hand as he was taking a video.  It was all in good fun though.  One of Judy's friends Bette Davis dropped by too.

We enjoyed the dinner and show very much and laughed ourselves silly!  Judy was kind enough to pose for photos with everyone after the show.

I would highly recommend seeing this show when you're in Palm Springs.

After the show we had drink or two at Chill Bar before heading back to the house.
